Illinois vs Michigan Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
The last time these teams met, fans were treated to quite an ugly game. Illinois prevailed 68-53 however both teams shot 30% or less from deep. Nothing was working offensively for Michigan and they failed to have an answer for Illinois center Kofi Cockburn. While Michigan will get luckier on shots falling and the game coming at home, they have a tall order against Illinois.
This is a tough game to predict as it will be rocking in Ann Arbor, but in these games, the more consistent team usually wins. Michigan has had some amazing performances, but Illinois has, for the most part, been the far better team this season. Even with their recent loss to Ohio State, pick Illinois to win in a game they need to win to stay alive in the Big Ten title race.
